Computer, one of the most powerful machine today, is being
used everywhere. Let's discuss the uses of computer on various sectors
of our society.
Business and Industry :
The uses of computer in business/offices improve their working efficiency. Record keeping becomes very easy. Information can be searched immediately. The use of computers in industries has improved their efficiency. The cost of production goes down. The quality of products is improved. Unpleasant and hazardous work can be performed by using robots. Working hours of laborers are reduced; they get more leisure.
Health Care:
Computers are also being used for planning and control purposes by health-care professionals. Computers equipment is used to monitor pulse rate, blood pressure and other vital signs.This leads to correct and fast diagnosis.

Information is transmitted over log distances through satellites.
Humanities:
In recent years, computers have become popular among people having interests in history, literature, music, graphics, arts and other branches of humanities.
Science and Technology:
Thousands of scientific applications are processed daily, on the computers. One of the most important daily activities is weather forecasting, which involves solution of mathematical equations using worldwide data about air pressure, temperature, humidity and other values.
Recreation and Entertainment:
Our entertainment and pleasure-time have also been affected by computerization. for example
1. In movies, computer generated graphics given freedom to designers so that special effects and even imaginary characters can play a part in making movies, videos, and commercials.
2. In sports, computers compile statistics, sell tickets, create training programs and diets for athletes, and suggest game plan strategies based on the competitor's past performance.
3. In restaurants, almost every one has eaten food where the clerk enters an order by indicating choices on a rather unusual looking cash register; the device directly enters the actual data into a computer, and calculates the cost and then prints a receipt.
